mighty joe nolan - brown eyed boy lyrics
[verse 1]
she was talkin’
while we were walkin’
and i could still smell her
on my coat
’cause she wore it last night
when we had a fight
down by the docks
where the big fishin’ boats
came in from the sea
on waves of white
and the sailors and the wh-r-s
they stay up all night
she said, “boy you know
i seen your kind before
you’re gon’ break my heart
then walk out my door.”
well her voice was sad
and her face was pale
behind her long
red curl
[chorus]
well, i’m just another brown-eyed boy
in love with a blue-eyed girl
[verse 2]
i remember how i met her
how could i forget her
with her dancing feet
pressed in workmans shoes
at a party at your place
she put on her best face
and laughed while she listened
to the blues
and when i asked to meet her
she smiled sweeter
than a bottle full
of strawberry wine
when i asked did she think
she needed a drink
she said, “no not for me
this room’s spinnin’ just fine.”
then she walked away
and began to sway
and dance and twist
and twirl
[chorus]
and i’m just another brown-eyed boy
in love with a blue-eyed girl
[verse 3]
now i said “baby
well i didn’t mean maybe
when i said
i loved you so
but you must understand
i’m only a man
that gave up on perfection
a long time ago.”
then she turned her face
then she turned her back
then she turned on her long high heels
and i looked at her standing
all alone in the night
and i wondered about
just how it feels
to be a woman receiving
beads and gl-ss
when you were expecting
pearls
[chorus]
but i’m just another brown-eyed boy
in love with a blue-eyed girl
